Shuttle service to the top of the peak ends on Aug 15. Driving to the peak won't open until end of September or later. So they build a new summit house, but the only way to see it is to pay for an overpriced cog railway ticket. I smell a broadmoor conspiracy.

According to the article in the The Gazette, you will be able to drive up during that time, but parking will remain limited until they finish at the end of the September. But yeah, why don't they just continue the shuttle service for another 45 days?

"City officials added that shuttle service up the mountain, which they said has transported most of the peak’s visitors this summer due to ongoing work being done on parking areas, will end Aug. 15.

Parking has been scarce for visitors to the summit all summer, and city officials said that once summit access is opened on a first-come, first-serve basis Aug. 15, that limited access may continue until the end of September, when the site work is expected to conclude."
